Great team win from my 'Boys. Incredible.

Sainters7 · 12-19-2009, 09:46 PM

Romo looked great today. And the Dallas lines beat up the Saints on both sides of the ball. Brees was constantly under pressure. That's the first game I really missed Jammal Brown, though he probably would've got 3 holding calls that game. Haha when Folk missed that kick I honestly thought it was gonna be the Redskins game all over again, oh well. Dallas deserved that win without a doubt. I can't believe it was even that close considering it was 24-3 with only 12min left.

I know I've said it 10 times already, but we need Jabari Greer back. Tracy Porter made his return today, and how many times did you see him, twice maybe? Romo constantly looked to the rookie Malcolm Jenkins side of the field tonight, just like Redman last week and Campbell before him. Everyone's just picking on him, and with great success. If Greer isn't ready to go by the time late January rolls around I have serious concerns going into that divisional game.

Congrats to the Saints so far on the season they have had regardless of the loss. 13-1 is still a very special season. Congrats to Dallas as well on the win. They shut up the media for a week atleast and looked good doing it tonight.

And then there was 1............

Great game by the cowboys tonight, I am not a huge fan of the cowboys but all this talk about NO vs Indy being almost a lock for a superbowl needs to realize that on any given sunday a good team doesn't have to be great but a good team can beat one of the top teams. The colts should have lost a few games this year. They still have not maybe they'll save it for a playoff upset.

Pretty impressive win for the Cowboys tonight. Tony Romo had a really good game and DeMarcus Ware looked pretty good for a guy who couldn't practice all week on a short week. That catch and run by Miles Austin on that third down was pretty key. But I can't believe Nick Folk has a job as a NFL kicker. Those warm up misses were brutal with how he was shanking everything, than the chip shot. Eventually not making a few of those plays earlier in the game finally proved to be too much for the Saints. Cowboys can now breath a little easier knowing that they do control their own playoff fate.

They just find a way to win. People can talk all about how the Colts have been in too many close games they deserved to lose but they always find a way to win. And as of now they deserve some kudos on being the only 14-0 team.

Manning deserves the mvp

Saint Troy · 12-20-2009, 08:33 AM

Losing Sucks............but that being said, the Cowboys played very well and the Saints didn't. Brees had a tough game and missed Shockey drawing coverage, but pretty much all credit goes to the Dallas fronts, DeMarcus Ware was sensational. As Sainters said the loss of Jabari Greer is killing the secondary, and the tackling was bad.

On the positive side, this should refocus the team rather quickly, and if the opportunity is there allow Payton to rest some key players for the playoffs.

transplant99 · 12-20-2009, 08:47 AM

Completely agree Troy....Dallas really did play well last night in every area of the game sans Folk's "doink" near the end.

Dallas is a team that still scares me as a fan of an NFC team. They have always had all the ingredients except for a suspect secondary and a ? in one spot on each of the o and d lines.

I think that the Saints learn from that one though and re-focus a bit as to me it seemed like they almost assumed they could just show up and breeze to a win....never happens in the NFL.

All I now is that if GB loses to the Steelers today, a distinct possibility IMO, and the Giants win tomorrow night, the NFC WC race is gonna be a nailbiter right down to the last minutes of the regular season. Should be fun.

Chad Ochocinco will not be wearing Chris Henry #15 this afternoon after all..

I know he says it's not about the money but the guy has had his pockets lightened by the league on too many occassions.

Probably the right decision either way.

Jesse834 · 12-20-2009, 10:24 AM

Check out this picture of M&T Bank Stadium in Balitmore .

Jesse834 · 12-20-2009, 10:26 AM

Ryan and Turner are in for the Falcons.

Flickered Flame · 12-20-2009, 12:17 PM

Fins are in some trouble. Henne missed an open Hartline in the end zone, settled for 3 and the Titans just marched down the field to go up by 11. 17-6.

transplant99 · 12-20-2009, 12:21 PM

Browns/Cheifs game is just ridiculous....fun though.

Flickered Flame · 12-20-2009, 12:27 PM

The Dolphins with 2 terrible turnovers in the first half, Ricky fumbled after the Fins marched it down the field, and Henne just threw a int has he was being sacked, again they had marched down the field and were at least in field goal range for DC. 17-6 at the half.

Where's that kick return for a million when you need it

You knew when it was going to be blacked-out that it would be a fun game hihihihihihi.

rubecube · 12-20-2009, 01:24 PM

The Cardinals have to be pretenders this year. Complete lack of consistency and discipline. Warner may be able to read coverage but he has terrible pocket presence.

Pagal4321 · 12-20-2009, 01:36 PM

Hmm, maybe starting Brady Quinn was a mistake.

OILFAN #81 · 12-20-2009, 01:59 PM

Jets season is pretty much over now that they are 7-7.

Dolphins come back late to tie it at 24 on a successful TD and two point conversion.
